Hi Sean

If you had put a comment under the --- that you deliberately did not
add a Fixes tag because you wanted it to soak for a while, you
probably would not be asked.

I think the bot also looks at the subject to decide if it is a fix. So
you need to word the subject so it sounds like continuing development,
not a fix.
